banks now hold $685., 200 in excess Of legal

THE president hes appo nted the follow
ing postmasters: Amos II. Kiser, at Cerro
Gordo, Iowa, vice Henry keern, resigned.
Thomas c. Medary, at Waukon, Iowa,
vice d. w. Reed, removed.
A FURTHER investigation shows that
Oscar J. Harvey, the treasury clerk forger
who carried through SO many fraudulent
claims for horses lost by war officers, also
pushed to completion about twenty genuine
but neglected or abandoned claims, on
which he realized 1850, making his total
stealIngs 100.
UNDER date OF July 4th, President
Cleveland wrote Mayor Francis, of ST.
Loui', stating that on account OF hostile
expressions on the part of certain members
Of the q. A. II. in regard to the propriety
of his visiting st. Louis at the time of the
national encampment, he decided not to
make the visit. Their expressions to the
effect that he would be unwelcome were
based, SO far as he could Judge, upon GER
tain official acts, as done under obligation
of his oath of office, which did not seem
to meet the views of those critics. He re-
fuses 10 believe that the Grand Army of
the Republic deem it part of their mission
to compass any object by attempting TO
coarce the executive, yet the expressions
indicate intentions to mar an occasion that
should be harmonious.
The National Rubber works, of Provi-

that trouble will occur. The excitement
occasoned by report that four men had

sided, but most bitter feeling is growing
every day against the officers on duty and
operators al large.
The position Of DR.. McGlynn is the
chief subject of conversation in Catholic
circles in New York. The prospects are
that the verdict of accommodation will
20 formally into force and not cause any
public ceremonies in any chusch. It is an
undoubted fact that there has lately been
gradual but sure turn Of worshippers to
St. Stephens, and there is little doubt that
McGlynn's excommunication will turn
four. tifths OF the supporters still left him
among his old parishOners.

AN HONEST BALLOT.BOX.
From Senator Elect w. Il. Chandler's AS
cept tnce speech.

From Senator Elect w. r. Chambers Ac-
cept ,nce speech.
To deserve and obtain future success the
Republican party must assert and main-
tain the wisdom aud patriotism Of its rec
ord in the past. 1t must not permit its
facts to be falsided or its glories to be
dimmrd by the rectal of arguments of in
terested and dishonest Democratic his
torians Or critics The Republican party
must also be true to one issue OF the past,
which is also living and not merely senti-
mental issue of the prcsent--the question
of free elections at the South. The story
is old, but sad ono. The North gave the
colored man the ballot. The colorcd people
give the solid South thirty -eight extra Rep
resentativcs in Congress and thirty eight
extra electoral votes. The colored mems
ballots are suppressed, and their votes
are used solely in the interest
of the enemies OF political equality OF the
race upon which they are based. Tell me
not that this is dead issue. On the I'd OF
December last three colored men of Wash
inston County, Texas, were hanged by
mob simply because they had been Repub-
hcans and had tried to exercise the right of
suffrage as Republicans. On May |, OF
this year, 1881, Roderick Gambrell, at
jackson, Miss, was waylaid, shot and
killed by Democratic leaders. Gambrell
was a Prohibition editor, and he was doom
cd and murdered solely because he dared
to oppose the Democratic party. Republi-
cans Of New Hampshire, do you give up
opposition to such political crimes as these. !.
Or do you demand that agitation shall con-
tinue until fraud and murder, used as ordi-
nary political agencies, shall cease TO elect
Congresses and Presidents of the United
States!
The commercial spirit Of the North be-
fore 1861 deprecated the agitation of the
slavery question as injurious to trade. 1t
is the same commercial spirit, fear, which
now creates a seeming Indifference to the
vital question of free ballot. But nation
wi ich puts money and its uses before man
and his liberty cannot endure long as a

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that it is
ascertd1ned that Solicitor General jerks is
in Uts in the interest Of the administrn-
tion, ltching the movements OF the con.
stituti9hnl convention there, by which il il
hoped That plan will be formed for the
admission of the territory as q state. This
is possibly confirmatory of the report that
the administration will support the move
ment mr. admisson in the hope that the
new elsctoral votes may be gained for the
democsacy.
NJ. goUvIER's budget, which will be
suhmssSed to the French CHAMBER without

AT THE, SOUTH.

The opinion is freely expressed in st.
Louis that the Grand Army will be the
chief sufferer by the refusal of the Presi-
dent TO visit st. Louis. Already several
business houses layo declined TO pay the
subscript ON they made to the Grand Army
fund. One subscriber said: Il think the
Grand Army fund will be reduced S25, 900
by the Presidents letter and his refusal to
come to the city. The finance committee
has collected more than half the amount
subscribed, lut tllcre still remains over
SiO,000 to be collected. 1t is probable
that many of the subscriptions will be
scratched off in view of the Pre- sidenl's ac-
ton" Gen. Fairchild, when interviewed
regarding the Presidents letter, had moth
ing to say himself, but remarked that the
national officers of the Grand Army have
not said anything whatever one way or an
other regarding the Presidents presence in
st. Louis. Gen. Fairchild thinks the st.
Louis encampment Will be one of the
granlest yet held.
A CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, special says:
Sam Breen and Eph Jones Were terribly
whipped by mob at Graysville, Ga, the
other morning. Breen had made disparag-
ing remarks about a respectable young lady
at Graysville on July 4th, and a mob was
organized to resent the insult. They went
to the house of Jone where Breen was
boarding, and, after breaking down the
door, captured both of the men. Breen
was whipped almost to death and ordered
to leave the town inside of twenty four
hours. Jones was severely castigated for
resisting the mob. Breen wanted to swear
out q warrant for the arrest of the mob,
but was informed that such a proceeding
meant certain death.

Marriage In TurkeI.

Marriage receives scarcely more attention
among the Turks than birth and death, and
there IS but little embarrassment from the
administrative formalities that precede and
accompany this solemn act in the West.
There are no bans, no announcements, no
registrations. A man obtains wife just NJ
he would buy bouquet; but neither the
buyer nor the seller nor the intermediary
asks for receipt. Az 1t is fort idden n man
10 enter the harem of another teyen it he
were near relative Of the latter to see a
Young woman and talk with her, there are
no marriages for love and no engagements.
Ono father meets another father. and says
to him: "You have son aud / have q
daughter If the mother Of your son
knows my daughter. let us strike bargain;
il she does not know her, let them see each
other, and let us close up the business. !"
The conditions are discussed, the dowry
haggled over, then all the arrangements
between the parents are made and the
Young people are introduced 10 each other.
Let ns add in passing that among US the
marriages that are contracted in the great
capitals of Europe, especially Paris, do
not depart far from this programme. In
France, however, a man is still allowed to
behold the object for the acquisition OF
which negotiations are in progress. In
Turkey this is forbidden; there marriage is
lottery indeed.
Turkish girls are promised usually when
they are very young, even at tender age,
when they are only three or four years old.
If tho young bride should happen to die
before her marriage, or be required for the
Sultans harem--for it may be promised
that this is case that breaks all engage
ments, and is esteemed as great honor BY
parents-the intended husband is not ex-
pected to weep over what he loses, for he
has never seen it. When tho young girl
reaches her twelfth or thirteenth year, or
somewhat later, her fourteenth year, she
rec ives the nuptial blessing. and the hus-
band cannot see the face Of his wife until
after that ceremony.
No woman, not even the wife. takes part
in tho solemnity Of marriage, which ID
effected by proxy, delegated 10 an uncle Of
to an elder brother, often with full beard,
who plays the rele Of the brids. The par
ents Of the couple sign the contract before
tho imam of their quarter, in tho presence
OF few friends, who act ~ witnesses. The
nuptials nre then celebrated by the families
with q calmness and gravity that would be
as suitable for funeral ns for . we'd
ding.

Here we found we'll conducted stable,

full parents watch their children
and at the least indication of
sickness give some simple remedy, which
in nine cases out of ten removes the cause
of alarm and prevents illness. So it is
